Summary
This textbook offers a comprehensive introduction to globalisation studies and the European Union within a multipolar world. It provides its readers with critical analysis of the key concepts of multilateral global and regional governance and Europe’s role in the world.
This volume collects contributions by eminent scholars from world class universities from five different continents and covers the major issues confronting students of European and global studies. It strives to help students develop a better and more secure grasp of the balance between interdisciplinary openness and disciplinary rigour when engaging with global governance studies, comparative regionalism, normative studies, international political economy or international law.
